Growing the First Galaxies' Merger Trees
Ethan O. Nadler, Andrew Benson, Trey Driskell +2
Modelling the growth histories of specific galaxies often involves generating the entire population of objects that arise in a given cosmology and selecting systems with appropriat…
Inflationary and phase-transitional primordial magnetic fields in galaxy clusters
Salome Mtchedlidze, Paola Domínguez-Fernández, Xiaolong Du +4
Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) are possible candidates for explaining the observed magnetic fields in galaxy clusters. Two competing scenarios of primordial magnetogenesis have…
Symphony: Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation Suites over Four Decades of Host Halo Mass
Ethan O. Nadler, Philip Mansfield, Yunchong Wang +9
We present Symphony, a compilation of cosmological, cold-dark-matter-only zoom-in simulations spanning four decades of host halo mass, from $10^{15}~M_{\mathrm{\o…
A semi-analytic study of self-interacting dark-matter haloes with baryons
Fangzhou Jiang, Andrew Benson, Philip F. Hopkins +8
We combine the isothermal Jeans model and the model of adiabatic halo contraction into a simple semi-analytic procedure for computing the density profile of self-interacting dark-m…
Quantum fluctuations masquerade as halos: Bounds on ultra-light dark matter from quadruply-imaged quasars
Alexander Laroche, Daniel Gilman, Xinyu Li +2
Ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) refers to a class of theories, including ultra-light axions, in which particles with mass comprise a significant fraction…
Tidal Tracks and Artificial Disruption of Cold Dark Matter Halos
Andrew J. Benson, Xiaolong Du
We describe a simple extension to existing models for the tidal heating of dark matter subhalos which takes into account second order terms in the impulse approximation for tidal h…
